no compatiblity mode like xp in win7?

[I Dig Weeds]

Don't know if this is the place to ask, since I can't find a Windows7
newsgroup. Windows XP has a compatibility mode that allows some programs
developed for earlier versions of Windows to function. What I'm not
hearing is if Windows 7 has such a mode. All I'm hearing about is a
virtual compatibility mode that will be available only in the business
version of Windows7. Am I correct in saying that Windows 7 Home Ultimate
will not have any kind of compatibility features at all?

Win7 has compatibility modes ranging from Win95 to Vista SP2.
